Entrepreneur and singer Ananya Birla shared a heartfelt birthday message for her father, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla, on social media this afternoon.
Ananya compiled a series of throwback videos into one montage to wish her father on his 57th birthday. The videos, all dating back to 1995, show baby Ananya with dad Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of the Aditya Birla Group.
In the accompanying message, Ananya Birla said her father is her hero, mentor and safe place.
“Happy Birthday Pa!This won’t do justice to how I feel but you’re my Hero, my best friend, my safe place, my silent mentor and truly the best dad! When my friends say that I’m a mini you, I feel it’s my biggest achievement & when you say you’re proud of me, I feel I’ve won,” she wrote on the social media platform X. “Love you,” Ananya Birla added.
